Managing Volunteers

All the hard work that goes into recruiting volunteers is often lost due to lack of management.

We will use a variety of learning methods to help you ensure that your volunteers are managed well.

This course is suitable for paid staff and volunteers who have a responsibility for managing volunteers.

Virtual Volunteer Coordinators Forum - Friday 11th September 2020

Volunteer Co-ordinators Forum - What is it?

The Volunteer Co-ordinators Forum (VCF) is a chance for people who are responsible for involving volunteers in the work of their organisation, whether as their paid job or as a volunteer themselves, to come together. It is a peer support space facilitated by Volunteer Centre Manchester, a space to share ideas and resources that you have found useful and to seek support and advice from other volunteer coordinators in the city.
